Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chipotle Mexican Grill is a popular quick-service style restaurant chain, which specializes in Mexican style food. The first Chipotle was opened in 1993, by Chef Steve Ells, in Denver, Colorado. Chipotle rapidly expanded, and currently has more than 2,000 locations across the United States. According to their website, Chipotle is proud to utilize fresh ingredients and serve "good food, fast" instead of fast food. Chipotle is a publicly traded company and was first introduced to the market in 2005.In late August and early September 2015, Chipotle experienced a Norovirus outbreak in Boston as well as a Salmonella outbreak in California. Although these initial food crises received media coverage, they did not appear to cause a drastic drop in Chipotle's stock values. However, just a few months later, in late October, there was a widespread outbreak of E. coli O26. Cases related to this outbreak were found in Washington, Oregon, California, Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, and Oregon. The majority of cases were centered in Washington and Oregon; but genetic testing by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) showed that all cases were related. A total of 55 illnesses were reported for this outbreak; 21 of which required hospitalization (CDC, 2016). In early November, Chipotle voluntarily closed all 43 restaurants in the Seattle and Portland market areas in reaction to the outbreak. Signs were posted on the doors of each location notifying customers of the closures; all restaurants reopened by the end of November (Peterson, 2015; Washington State Department of Health, 2015; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016; U.S. Food and Drug Administration, 2016).

Book excerpt: By any measure, Chipotle Mexican Grill was a success story in the restaurant business. It grew from one location in 1993 to over 2,000 locations by 2016 and essentially created the fast casual dining category. Its stock appreciated more than 1,000% in the ten years following its 2006 IPO.However, after more than 20 years without a major reported food safety incident, Chipotle was revealed as the source of multiple outbreaks of illness from norovirus, salmonella, and E. coli that sickened nearly 600 people in 13 states in 2015. The company closed stores, spent several months under investigation by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other health organizations, and faced a criminal investigation in connection with the incidents.After a much-publicized closing of all of its stores on February 8, 2016, and numerous changes to its food sourcing and preparation practices, Chipotle tried to win back customers with dramatically increased advertising and free food promotions.However, on April 26, the chain announced its first-ever quarterly loss as a public company. Same-store sales for the first quarter were 29.7% lower than in the previous year. Operating margins fell from 27.5% to 6.8% over the same period, and the company's share price was down 41% from its summer 2015 high.

Book excerpt: Food safety errors can have disastrous consequences on a company's profitability, image, and loss of lives. Therefore, it is critical that hospitality managers, employees, and students understand the importance of food safety and methods to implement best practices. Using the example of Chipotle Mexican Grill foodborne illness outbreaks, this case study highlights when, where, and how food safety errors occurred in this specific instance. This case study encourages critical thinking about food safety errors occur, causes of such errors, and how to detect, resolve, and prevent errors. In addition, the goal of the case study is for the audience to learn skills required for effective management of food safety errors, and identify training techniques that can be used to develop such skills.
Download or read book Just Food written by James E. McWilliams and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2009-08-26 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We suffer today from food anxiety, bombarded as we are with confusing messages about how to eat an ethical diet. Should we eat locally? Is organic really better for the environment? Can genetically modified foods be good for you? JUST FOOD does for fresh food what Fast Food Nation (Houghton Mifflin, 2001) did for fast food, challenging conventional views, and cutting through layers of myth and misinformation. For instance, an imported tomato is more energy-efficient than a local greenhouse-grown tomato. And farm-raised freshwater fish may soon be the most sustainable source of protein. Informative and surprising, JUST FOOD tells us how to decide what to eat, and how our choices can help save the planet and feed the world.

Download or read book Food Safety Culture written by Frank Yiannas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-10 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Food safety awareness is at an all time high, new and emerging threats to the food supply are being recognized, and consumers are eating more and more meals prepared outside of the home. Accordingly, retail and foodservice establishments, as well as food producers at all levels of the food production chain, have a growing responsibility to ensure that proper food safety and sanitation practices are followed, thereby, safeguarding the health of their guests and customers. Achieving food safety success in this changing environment requires going beyond traditional training, testing, and inspectional approaches to managing risks. It requires a better understanding of organizational culture and the human dimensions of food safety. To improve the food safety performance of a retail or foodservice establishment, an organization with thousands of employees, or a local community, you must change the way people do things. You must change their behavior. In fact, simply put, food safety equals behavior. When viewed from these lenses, one of the most common contributing causes of food borne disease is unsafe behavior (such as improper hand washing, cross-contamination, or undercooking food). Thus, to improve food safety, we need to better integrate food science with behavioral science and use a systems-based approach to managing food safety risk. The importance of organizational culture, human behavior, and systems thinking is well documented in the occupational safety and health fields. However, significant contributions to the scientific literature on these topics are noticeably absent in the field of food safety.

Download or read book Public Sociology written by Michael Burawoy and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-09-08 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Burawoy has helped to reshape the theory and practice of sociology across the Western world. Public Sociology is his most thoroughgoing attempt to explore what a truly committed, engaged sociology should look like in the twenty-first century. Burawoy looks back on the defining moments of his intellectual journey, exploring his pivotal early experiences as a researcher, such as his fieldwork in a Zambian copper mine and a Chicago factory. He recounts his time as a graduate and professor during the ideological ferment in sociology departments of the 1970s, and explores how his experiences intersected with a changing political and intellectual world up to the present. Recalling Max Weber, Burawoy argues that sociology is much more than just a discipline – it is a vocation, to be practiced everywhere and by everyone.
Download or read book Crisis Communications written by Kathleen Fearn-Banks and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A casebook approach to studying crisis communications means learning from the actions of those who have experienced crises. What did they expect? What actually happened? Were they prepared? What were their strategies? What were their challenges, pressures, and problems? Were the news media adversarial or supportive? If they had to do it again, what would they do differently? These and other questions are answered in the case studies of this second edition. Presenting organizational and individual problems that may become crises and the communication responses to these situations, this revision of Fearn-Banks' very successful text: * presents crisis communication theory, including a critique of the communications of White Star Lines after its Titanic sank on its maiden voyage; * describes ways of determining the most likely and most damaging crises that may strike an organization; * centers on causes of crisis--rumor, "gotcha" television news and the non-expert expert, and crises caused by the news media; * gets into the 21st century and cyberspace-caused crises, including mini-cases of rogue Web sites and e-mail rumors; * explains how to communicate with the news media, lawyers, internal publics or audiences, and external publics; and * includes narrated case studies illustrating how spokespersons and managers used communication in several kinds of crises. The text is supplemented by a workbook, enabling students to test their knowledge and develop their skills. Written as a primer for crisis communications, public relations, and communications management, Crisis Communications serves as an essential resource in the practice of public relations and corporate communications.
